 Hello, and welcome to the Eric Camadeca show. I'm Joe Wombo, joined with Eric Camadeca, head coach of the indoor track and field teams. And coach, it seems like every time we talk, somebody else is qualifying for something, great success going on on both sides of teams. Yeah, that's the goal for this year is to get better every single weekend, and that's what's happening. So it's a sign of progress. Busy weekend this weekend, going all over to place. Thursday, we took the women to Navy. They had a great experience on that facility. We opened up Dion Hicks in a pentathlon, only gave her really three days to really prepare for it. And she did a great job. She actually scored almost 100 more points, and we thought she was going to score in that event, put herself in the top four in the Mac right now. And so we're going to play with her this weekend and kind of see what she's going to do, because she's so versatile now, being able to do all those events plus more. Then we went into Friday, where we left with a couple of our athletes to Boston. We took our two women throwers up there, and then we took two male sprinters and two male jumpers, and they had a heck of a weekend. Adam de Bugatti had continued on his success with the throw jump, jumping another PR, jumping 14-09, putting himself 16, which is just right outside of making nationals right now. Kenneth Scott Kilo did a great job matching his career PR, or being about 0.10 off. And then Devonte Williams, we accomplished what we wanted to up there. He ran up there, won his heat into 60, won his heat into 200. We believe his qualifying time will get him into the national meet. And then the big surprise was Matt Riggins. I mean, he ran really, really well this weekend. He's made himself a contender for Mac Championships. And then also on Saturday, Coach Brudan took our distance team up to Haverford, and Langston Gash qualified for ECACs, broke the school record in the mile, and Idris Idris, sounds so nice to gotta say it twice, right? He ran 158 in the 800, and he's put himself in position now and broke the school record as well. Yeah, it seems like every week a personal record is going down, or a school record is going down, and it just isn't stopping. And I don't think it's gonna stop even through the outdoor season. Yeah, we hope to continue on with this. I was just talking to one of my coaches, you know, what they think we can do during the outdoor season. As long as everyone's staying healthy, we keep on in this progression. There's a lot of big things that are gonna happen this year for this team. And this past weekend was a big weekend for you guys getting people the rest that they needed or the qualifications that they were looking for. This weekend's gonna be no different. Some people that need to keep the repetitions up are gonna be competing, and then some people that are still trying to get their qualifications for the Mac, ECACs and nationals are still gonna be competing as well. Yeah, this weekend's gonna be an interesting weekend for us. You know, again, some will be taken off this weekend to get ready for Mac championships because we accomplished what we needed to. So the rest is gonna be big for them, just to kind of get into the mental aspect and get their bodies healed up. And then for some of the others, you know, they're still trying to get that Mac qualifier or they need to fine tune one of their events to make sure that they put themselves in position for us to score well. And a lot of the athletes are holding on to some national rankings. That's huge for the program. Yeah, I think we're guaranteed at least two, one on each side. Danika's holding on to six right now in the women's shot put. Devonte's number six in the men's 200. And then Adam's looking for a spot to go in that triple jump, you know, hopefully at the conference meet. We have a couple of guys who are in the top 15, 20 in the country in the triple jump in our conference. So it's gonna be a big opportunity for us to send multiple athletes to nationals this year. And just qualifying for the Mac meet is an accomplishment. And then at that Mac meet, you can qualify for numerous other meets. Yeah, so the big goal then for those who are not gonna be able to go to the national meet is, you know, getting that ECA seed standard. This is gonna be the biggest crew we've taken up to the ECA season a long time. You're gonna actually be taking a big 47 passenger bus instead of some van. So it's nice to be able to see the success and growth of the program over the past two and a half years. Very exciting and rapid growth and a wonderful year of success. And I hope you guys keep it going in two more weeks in the indoor schedule. Yeah. Well, Coach, we wish you the best luck and safe travels this weekend. Great, thank you. He's Eric Camadeca. I'm Joe Wambun. This has been the Eric Camadeca Show.
